Alberta's Energy Resources Conservation Board said on Wednesday it
expects output from the province's oil sands to more than double by
2021, while conventional oil production last year rose for the first
time in 16 years.

The board, which regulates the province's oil and gas industry, said
it expects oil sands production of 3.7 million barrels per day in nine
years, 2 million bpd higher than the output in 2011.
